I think those piggyback shocks are a seperate upgrade item.

I read on another thread that the piggyback reservoir is fake and there are other caps on the tree without the fake "scale" bit.

Exactly!! I chose to put the regular caps on becouse I didn't like the look of the fake piggy backs. There is a upgrade piggy back reservoir (still fake) that is made from aluminium.

Not really that much. I did take it out and run it on the rocks totay and was pleasantly suprized. The tires hooked up really well too, despite the fact that it was cold and wet.

Thanks for the info on the 'piggybacks' for the shocks. Now I know which way I will build mine when it arrives!

How is the stock gearing?

Is it the same as the ax10? If it is I want to gear it a little bit lower.

Same gearing as the AX-10, but remember that you are running 1.9 wheels and tires. I am running a 35 turn motor with a 21 tooth pinnion and a 2 cell and it definetly needs more. I would go 3 cell but I am running a novak esc. I have a 76 tooth spur and a 31 tooth pinion on my other 1.9 that I am goint to steel for it becouse I am ditching the axial tranny in it and running a 2 to 1 rc4wd t-case and a hpi reduction box.

Axial just anounced they are releasing the new r & p sets that are higher and lower gear ratios. I will be buying some lower ones for this and going higher on the tranny to try to eliminate the little bit of torque twist it has.

That was quick to build! I should have mine tomorrow or tuesday. Hopefully I'll have it beat by the weekend. I think I'm going to strip the rings too. I like that look better.

The box isn't totaly sealed but you could seal it. It has a hole for the wires to come out of it.

do the 1.9 Flat Irons seem to work better than the 2.2 version?

Oh yeah... I only tried the m2 2.2 Flat Irons though. They worked quite well even cold and wet.

Hey ZUKMAN that pic with the big snowball tire is just too cool! What color did you use to paint the front grill? Or is that decal?
Did you shoot any video?

I have a set of them ( in 2.2) and they didn't work very well in the granite rock fields that my club uses for a comp site. It looks like RPP didn't get my cancellation notices because I just got the shipping invoice and tracking number, so I guess I'll find out 1st hand how well the 1.9 tires work.

I like the pics you took, that rig really seems to handle the terrain very well. Any issues with the 3 link suspension "steering" when it gets twisted up?
